Happy Note–March 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2023

Mornin’ All,

Happy Friday, Happy (almost) Weekend, and Happy End of the Week!😃

Well, this may not be the happiest of weekends for my Fourth Year Student Dentists. Board Exam!!! Ugh!!! That rite of passage that ALL we dental folk have to endure. I can say with some certainty and/or experience that, yes, board exams suck. However, there is a plethora of outstanding life to be lived after cresting that wave. Just another bump on the road to success. And it builds character (or gray hairs and/or atherosclerotic plaques).

Like previous Happy Notes, contained herein there may just be a few little happy things to do this weekend. And, yes, board exams suck (did I mention this already?). But maybe taking a little time this weekend to forget the sucky stuff and get out there and do some unsucky stuff will be just what the doctor (of diddly squat…DDS) ordered. So without further ado, and in no particular order, here are a few Milwaukee weekend things to do (weekend of March 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2023):

-Women’s History Month kicks off this weekend with Mississippi Masala at the Oriental Theater.
